Thank you everyone for your sweet, sympathetic & encouraging words. I am sorry if it was a hard post to read, but I didnt really know who else I could tell my concerns to. My DH, who is normally very compassionate, I think is secretly scared too so he just said that I need to separate our situations. He is right, but y'all had better words.
Dwrgi,
Although my friend lost her baby after IVF, we know that happens without fertility treatment as well. They got pg with their 1st IVF and that should encourage you that it can happen on your first too. I keep trying to remind myself ... one step at a time. I am very excited about your next cycle.
Padbrat,
Thanks for checking in on us. I think of you often & wonder how you are doing so it was good to hear from you.
MA,
That was a wonderful post about Doug feeling Amelia kick. What a wonderful experience!
Butterfly,
So glad you got your DTD in before ovulation. Now you just need to sit back and try to relax.
Never,
Hope you & that sticky bean are doing ok. How are you feeling?
OMM,
I was actually composing a long post to you last night before my phone ran out of juice & powered off. I just wanted to say I can relate. Not that my sex drive is thru the roof, but it is higher than my husbands. Even before TTC, we got in fights about it b/c I got sick of initiating. Then I would stop and wait to see how long we would go before he initiated and we'd wait too long for my taste. He felt pressured & I felt undesirable. We went to see a counselor about it before we married. The issue wad tied to finances & work stress, not me or how attractive I am. We worked thru it by learning how & when to communicate about it (not in bed, when things were good btn us). Once we started TTC, we actually had more sex, but we both were frustrated by having to perform on a schedule. It's funny, but the IUIs took some of the pressure off doing it at the right time. All this to say, I know your husband loves you & thinks you are beautiful. Good luck. I know you all will work through it.
Skye,
Is your mom still with you & feeling better! Hope you had a great birthday.
Luv,
That place looks amazing! How romantic. I love the beach & the sunset!
Hi to Twinkle, FM, HA, Tiger, Purple, Macwooly, and anyone else I missed. It's almost the weekend and for me, only 1 more day until the final Harry Potter movie!
So excited!
